I'm going by your analysis, bud, but if they're not poor then I guess they don't need to learn French to get a decent job. They still need to if they want to read some Frenchie writer, cause learning a whole 'nother language for the sake of casual reading is a reasonable expectation to have.

Effete university intellectual is absolutely accurate though. Little tip if you don't want to out yourself as an undercover alien preparing the way for an invasion: don't use "parochial" while looking down on us ignorant humans.
